Somewhere in France
Dear Folks
I am well and doing fine. I am in another part of France than I was last time but it rains just as much and is raining now. The soldiers feel pretty good as Austria has just signed peace terms and some of us may be home soon if we can just get the Kaiser in the same boat. Some parts of France look like good farming land but most of it have a very thin layer of good soil and under that is cement rock and if it didn't rain as much as it do France would be a desert as it would dry out so quick but as it is it is very green and pretty with so many hedge fences growing around each small lot and have large white milk cows grazing in each lot. These cows are as big as the Holsteins we have at home but are white and the bag is about the size of a small Jersey and is rich. I never saw any like them in the States so I guess they must be some French breed of cows. I got a large batch of papers yesterday and
